If you live in the U.S., you may remember that the promoters of this year’s SUMMER SLAUGHTER tour conceived a creative piece of marketing by allowing fans to vote from among a list of 11 bands for the last act to fill up the touring line-up. Within the Ruins won that vote and will be joining The Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel, Darkest Hour, Six Feet Under, Dying Fetus, As Blood Runs Black, Oceano, and the almighty Fleshgod Apocalypse on SUMMER SLAUGHTER.
Earlier this month, the tour promoters put out the word that they were organizing a second tour featuring some of the bands from the voting list that didn’t get selected via the Facebook ballot-stuffing . . . uh, voting — plus Scale the Summit. Here’s the line-up (which unfortunately doesn’t include some of the best vote-losers — Revocation, Neuraxis, Augury, 7 Horns 7 Eyes, Dawn of Ashes).
CONDUCTING FROM THE GRAVE
THE CONTORTIONIST
SCALE THE SUMMIT
RINGS OF SATURN
VOLUMES
STRUCTURES
As of this morning, we now have the tour schedule. I have mixed feelings about this schedule. On the one hand, I’m happy for all the people in Lubbock and Des Moines who’ll get to see it. On the other hand, they couldn’t be bothered with a single date anywhere in the Pacific Northwest? What are we, chopped liver? The schedule is after the jump . . .

Shit! The midwest got snubbed too!
Well, I can understand ignoring Ohio, but Washington and Oregon? Just makes no sense. 🙂
Gallup, New Mexico? Have they lost their minds. Find Gallup, NM on the map. I’ll wait. What is it close to? Answer: Nothing!.
I suppose you guys could make a road trip to Sacramento or Salt Lake, but from Seattle, either would be a looooong trip. Just don’t bring any bulls with you.
That road trip ain’t gonna happen. And what about Sparks, NV? It’s near Reno, I guess. And Reno is near . . . what? And what about Lubbock, TX? I’ve been to Lubbock. You REALLY have to want to get to Lubbock to get to Lubbock.
Lubbock is the asshole of Texas. It is affectionately referred to as Lubbutt in my neck of the woods.
Harsh — but accurate. Though it’s possible that Texas has more than one asshole.
Wilmington, DE fuck yeah! I feel bad for anyone who misses this tour. Rings of Saturn, Conducting, and The Contortionist are the shit! I wish they’d replace the others with Augury, Neuraxis, and Revocation though.
That’s pretty much where I come out, too — though Scale the Summit is definitely worth seeing. I’m also high on 7 Horns 7 Eyes, since they’re from the Seattle area and I’ve seen them, but I guess they’re not yet well-known enough. Anyway, glad you’ll get to see this one.
Thanks, I’ll definitely tell you how it was.
WTF! no shows in canada? BULSHIIIITTTT.
Yes, ignoring a whole country does put my whining in perspective. 🙂
I just saw this news on Facebook, apropos of the last exchange above about no Canadian dates. Now, two Canadian dates have been added:
MON 8/01 Toronto, ON @ Wreck Room
TUE 8/02 Montreal, QC @ Underworld
